Safety

• Before this device is used, it is essential
that the orthosis is individually adapted
to the patient by an experienced ortho-
pedic technician and that the patient is
trained in the orthosis' use according to
the doctor' s instructions.
• Incorrect selection, adaptation, applica-
tion , and/or failure to monitor the
correct fit of this product may cause
health damage.
• Never wear the orthosis on broken skin.
• Check orthosis for damage (such as
loose connections, fasteners, belts,
etc.) each time it is put on.
• In case you suspect any performance
malfunctions (e.g. an apparent reduction
or lack of effect), immediately call on
your doctor or orthopedic technician.
• The orthosis must be checked for proper
function, correct fit and potential
damage by a doctor or orthopedic
technician at regular intervals. The timing
of these intervals has to be defined
individually for each patient.
• Should the product have been subject to
disproportionate stress, it must be
checked for potential damage by an
orthopedic technician before further use.
• Harmful pressure caused by the orthosis
may cause skin injuries or disrupt blood

on other people.
